What kind of gains are you getting with the tune?
right. Like I said, I find it a bit hard to believe someone has fully cracked this ECU yet.
The car has been out for a year. But the engine and ECU have been out for a while and it has taken tuners this long to partially break the code.
Exactly. As much as we would love to see more V6 mods, everyone is still trying to catch up with LS3 and L99 demands.
Let's be honest. The V8 camaro market is much larger than the V6 market.
I honestly don't see the reason for Tuners to break their back over this when there is much more to gain in the V8 market.
I'm sure they are working hard on this, but they need more time.
What other things have been tuned on your car or are able to be tuned?

I'll put it like this. I was pulling wicked timing when I put on my LT headers and my AFR was through the roof.
I sent Vince my datalogs from his own flash program and he readjusted my timing and tweaked something to settle the AFR back down. Now there has been mass acknowledgement that this engine will not provide additional hp out of a tune. I believe that, no doubting it.
BUT - when I'm losing 30hp or so from severe spark retard of (10.5-11.2 at 6600rpm) and my AFR is 13.8 - and I send my logs to Trifecta, which he updates, and I remonitor it when I get the new files back and my spark retard is now in the 4s @ 6500rpm and my AFR looks to have settled back down after monitoring the O2 sensors I am a firm believer that it works. Now for the TCM change I haven't even run the TCM adaptive and with just a 25% TM delete I get my neck snapped back from 1-3 gear; I'm loving it.
So if people want to say its not crack to the full potential then yes I agree - but - I'm getting a hella lot more pleasure out of my camaro right now then before. And who knows how crappy my camaro would be if things hadn't had gotten adjusted. I would have $1750 of worthless mods on my car otherwise.
